PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yuuri Yushima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Kilgore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yushima comes into the arena with Funktasztikus - Exodus blaring out of the sound system. Kilgore has chosen "Providence" - Heal These Wounds as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Yuuri Yushima has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Yuuri Yushima seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
